Year of the Dragon 2012: The Legend - Bruce Lee

Assalamu alaikum

Here is a documentary on Bruce Lee, the greatest fighter of the 20th Century. His impact on popular culture in the inner cities was tremendous during the 70s and 80s. His inspiration lead to many forms of hip-hop dance styles. Even the greatest among us are in need. His death point to the Majesty of one greater. One can also look at the way that Christopher "Superman" Reeves was eventually subjected to a wheelchair and practically couldn't move in his later years to see the same lesson. To Allah to come and to Allah we return.

About Me

I am 35 years old, and I adhere to the Salafi methodology/way. I was born in the Bronx to New York Puerto Rican (Catholic) parents. During my teenage years, I starting to learn about my history since of course they don't teach us that in school. As a teenager, I had a lot of interaction with "Latino" and African-American Muslims. That lead to me taking my shahadah during my first semester of college. I eventually earned a bachelor's of art with a double major in Arabic and political science at the State University of New York at Binghamton. My concentration was in the Middle East and North Africa Studies. In 2000, I was offered a scholarship to study at Umm Al-Qura University. I studied there from 2000 to 2005. May Allah reward King Fahd (rahimahullah) for giving me a scholarship to teach in Saudi, Amin. Alhamdulillah, I have been fortunate to have sat with several scholars in Saudi Arabia. I currently live in Saudi Arabia with my wife and two children. I also hold a master's in TESOL.
